I have 3 boys, ages 4, 6 &amp; 8. All three boys are true to size at any retail store..Gap, Nordstrom, etc. However, I have purchased the Lacoste polos many times and you DO have to go up in size and they DO shrink. I am very particular with my laundry and hang dry all shirts after fluffing in dryer for 5-10 minutes. These shirts will still shrink so order up a few sizes! My 4 year old is growing out of the size 6 LaCoste in his closet. It is actually shorter and tighter fitting than his 4T Gap polos. I ordered him the size 8 and it will be perfect for him to grow into. My 6 year old size 10 and my 8 year old size 12. All will be perfect for this upcoming school year with room to grow. If I had needed them for a special occasion RIGHT NOW (and didn't mind if they grew out of the polo in a few months), I would've gone down one size from what I ordered. Hope this helps! :)
Once again, SPEEDY ship!!! Seems like I blinked and the box was on my porch! Thank you so much, Zappos! You're the best!

Great shirts but run very small. My son is 6 (wears a size 7) and the 10 fits but I wish I got a 12 to allow for growing room and shrinkage.

Our son wears size 8 in Children's Place, GAP, etc. - based on the reviews, I ordered Lacoste size 14 and it fits him perfectly. Order the 14 if your son usually wears an 8.

Order at least 4 sizes up if your child likes shirts a little large. My four year old grandson wears a 6-7. I ordered a 10 and it may not make it through the summer.

This is a good looking polo shirt. It is good quality and fits well. It is not too narrow or too long. However the fit is small. I got size 6 for my 2½ year old (he is on the tall side), but still recommend sizing up. I got the white, orange, light blue, and light pink. All are perfect.
